Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I support amendment No. 9. From the first part, it is clear that this is not intended to be only a one-way street. It may very well facilitate the collection of revenues due that might not otherwise present. It puts the onus on State and other bodies to make the necessary returns of all moneys received. It is likely that other bodies exist that do not currently make all the returns, and this amendment may produce a greater beneficial outcome in terms of the overall revenue performance. It may not merely aid and abet the objective of ensuring that all tax compliant PAYE workers receive their due credits. It is a laudable amendment which reflects on the spirit of the first amendment, which was discussed previously. I join in recording support for it.
